He w-s working as usual in his studio at Poissy on the great water color which is to be entitled "1S07" when he felt the first symptoms af tho attack and had to leave off painting at once.

THERE is one thing for which the Wichits
EAGLE Is justly celebrated. That Is, it:
ability to show up Wichita to the best ad
vantage at all times and under all conditions.
Interest In the town is aroused from the
moment one picks up copy of the EAGLE
until the last line Is read. Marsh Murdoch
has the boom business down to a fine point.
-Lpavenworth Times,
Yes, truth is mighty and will get there in
the termination of the race. What little
we have been able to do for Wichita in the
way of booming has been done by telling
the truth in a straightforward way.
We have been censured for our
modesty In rather Understanding the i'm
portance Of Wichita. 1t Is better that
strangers who for the first time visit this
city should say to us that the EAGLE has
not over estimated Wichita. rather than
that they should go away able to demon
strate that Wichita is not wha. the EAGLE
represents her to be. This secret of our
success In this line we make known to our
contemporaries out of pure good feeling In
hope that they may all adopt our theory
and thereby do good work for their re
spective towns.

Leavenworth Times.
Well, yes; Wichita is young and ambi-
tious, but If she had depended upon en-
ccuragement from other towns for inspira
tion and growth she would have petered
out long ago. As to her resources and the
basis of her boom 1t Is advisable, perhaps
for the Times not to say much, else il
might witness a perfect hegira of its citi
zens to the p. p, notwithstanding she does
not stand upon bed of coal so large and
deep that it would require five thousand
men one hundred and fifteen years to bring

est old maid up on the Missouri. Yes
Wichita is the largest city in the state

Her dust is no doubt annoying to rivals but
she will soon be far enough ahead to be

Scientists now claim that steel rails at

that on the Mexican Central railway as
fast IS the rails are laid down rain follows
and falls in great quantities only along the
line of the road. If there Is anything in
this theory Kansas will shortly be the rain

The fact mentioned is altogether plals
ible. The steel rails form electrical aven-
mes for and generate or collect electrical
currents, which have very much to dc
with attracting and condensing atmospheric
moisture into rainfall The rapid construc
tion of railroads and telegraph lines In
Kansas has had as great influence In pro-

has failed to prove the negative. Ate,
the purchase price had been paid and the
receipts issued and conveyances made by
the parties entering to Halsey 1t appears
that some question arose as to the validity
of these entries; hearing was ordered be
fore the land Office at Wichita, but the
thereupon Mr.. Halsey went to Washington
and applied for hearing before the com.
missioner of the land Office, which was
granted, and upon such hearing the entries
were sustained and patents thereafter is
sued.
Not one of the parties who made
the several entries has been found or his
testimony procured. The testimony of
the government Is mainly that of Witnesses
to the effect that these various parties dur
ing the summer and fall of 1882 were gen.
orally about the town of Harper OF en-
ployed In the Indian Territory, from which
1t Is inferred that they never established
any residence upon these lands and as to
some of the par les the testimony points
strongly In that direction; but then l take
into Consideration the trust under which the
government held these lands, the spirit of
this act Of 1880, the fact of the actual pay
ment, the evidence of no collision or con-
spiracy between Halsey and the parties
entering. 1t seems to me that I cannot
Within the rule laid down by the supreme
court as quoted above, hold that the gov
eminent had clearly and satisfactorily
shown that 1t was defrauded In these en-
tries; it is unnecessary, therefore, to
enquire as to the rights of subsequent
parties purchasing from Halsey or holding
mortgages placed upon the lands, for
HalseY being entitled to a decree in his
favor, they are also protected. With the
failure of the principal attack, the collat-
eral assaults also fall. A decree will be
entered in each case dismissing the BILL
